10 Zvanzi naJehovha pamusoro pavanhu ava, “Vanofarira kungofamba-famba; havadzori tsoka dzavo. Saka Jehovha haavagamuchiri; zvino acharangarira zvakaipa zvavo uye achavaranga nokuda kwezvivi zvavo.”
11 Ipapo Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Rega kunyengeterera kugara zvakanaka kwavanhu ava.
12 Kunyange vakatsanya, handinganzwi kuchemwa kwavo; kunyange vakapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvezviyo, handingazvigamuchiri. Asi ndichavaparadza nomunondo, nenzara uye nedenda.”
